Hi, i'm a newbie with XBMC.

I've installed XBMC in my USB and i've connected an original xbox dvd dongle kit to my htpc with an usb adapter but doesn't work.


What should I do? I've read something about Lirc but i don't understand.

LET ME KNOW IF THIS WORKS




Steps needed to get it all to work after you’ve connected it to the computer.

1. WinSCP has FTP and Putty. (freeware)
2. Get root access
3. Setup files

STEP 1

Download WinSCP (freeware)
http://winscp.net/eng/download.php

STEP 2

1- Open Putty (freeware)
2- type in the field "Hostname (or IP adress)" the IP of your xbmc then press open
3- it will ask you for name type: xbmc
4- then the actual password type: xbmc
then press enter (note it will seem like your not typing but you are)
5- you are loged in
6- Now type: sudo passwd root
7- Follow the instructions

Enter old password then new one

Your all done


STEP 3



First off some vim commands to understand what your doing

w Write (Save)
q Quit (Close)
wq Write and Quit. (Save and Close)
q! Force Quit (Close without saving changes)



To get started

1- Open Putty (freeware)
2- type in the field "Hostname (or IP adress)" the IP of your xbmc then press open
3- it will ask you for name type: root
4- then the NEW password (note it will seem like your not typing but you are)
5- you are loged in

type: sudo rm /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
type: sudo pico /etc/lirc/hardware.conf


copy and paste ( if there is anything in the file delete everything then paste):

#Forcing noninteractive reconfiguration
#If lirc is to be reconfigured by an external application
#that doesn't have a debconf frontend available, the noninteractive
#frontend can be invoked and set to parse REMOTE and TRANSMITTER
#It will then populate all other variables without any user input
#If you would like to configure lirc via standard methods, be sure
#to leave this set to "false"
FORCE_NONINTERACTIVE_RECONFIGURATION="true"
START_LIRCMD=""

This thread was EXTREMELY useful! Thanks guys.

I recently got an Acer Revo set up with XBMC Live, and to keep in budget, didnt want to pop for a new remote/IR receiver. I had a spare XBOX DVD remote IR dongle to use, so I wired it to work with the REVO, but was having a hard time trying to figure out how to make it work on the config side.

I dug through a lot of info before I found this thread, which got me running in short time, so thanks again.
